I shape the fresh horn using my GramercyToolsSawHandleMakersRasp (need I pointed out this appliance before?

We fell so in love with this spotted as soon as I installed attention on its truncated handle poking out from the base of a corrosion pile

Today i could flowing the fresh spot toward related region by feathering they in with 220 and 320 determination report.

The process now could be to fit colour in the outdated lumber on brand new. Also to complicate activities, I’m going to use boiled linseed oils generally handbag to create the actual heat and period of the wood. The BLO will darken colour from the handbag dramatically, and even more so forth the older wood of tote and less throughout the brand-new spot….so it means I have to stain the brand new horn darker to suit the resulting darker walnut after oiling. Puzzled? That’s why you should always engage in on waste.

Very, after buying a colors after some testing, here’s the fresh new horn discolored. You can observe simply how much darker it really is before we oil the entire handbag. Once we oil they, it is going to merge wonderfully…

This is often circumstances the trickiest part of take fixes….you can stain brand new spot to suit the existing wood because it’s, but as soon as you placed another finish on it, the outdated timber and brand new material absorb finish in totally different methods plus don’t dye the exact same. You have to assume this differences beforehand and color the wood on finished product, perhaps not into the natural.

Following BLO, we apply two applications of 1lb cut emerald shellac after which cleaning the metal dish and nuts.

I am happy with all the way this spotted was released…I’m providing the lady someplace of respect back at my old saw wall close to my personal recent Disston#99. ?Y™‚

The Disston puzzle…..solved.

Their come a very active few weeks for the store of late….I’ve come neck-deep in saw rehabs and sharpenings. I’ve had most needs for saws over the past two months and I also’m just catching up today, plus At long last complete the SuperSawBench, and possess made an effort to fit in a few sharpenings for personal saws, plus the normal rigamaroll that happens alongside it all.

I have been stealing opportunity every now and then to create advancement back at my mystical initial Disston #99…a spotted that I found at the finally Spicer public auction. You can check away my original thoughts on it here.

I have conferred with other saws geeks and hands software punditry plus it seems that this can be indeed an early Disston #99. I became perplexed in the beginning considering the beech tote with a mutton’s language, but my earlier means point out that was without a doubt what sort of originals emerged before they turned to an apple tote of a lot more subdued styling, as observed in the Disstonian Institute and someplace else. Therefore, it appears that it means this small girl is a bit of a rarity…… ?Y™‚

Anyway, knowing she is special inspired me to become further certain with the upcoming rehab…..and they took me an effective six weeks of hemming and hawing to choose how exactly to patch the tote, that was the most important focus of this processes and greatest barrier to overcome.

Step one would be to come across a fantastic bit of beech to perform the vital patch with the handle, and I browsed highest ( lower (dad’s firewood heap) and in between (Josh Clark and Mike Hendershot…fellow instrument geeks) to find out that special bit….which, by the way, needed to be quartersawn and experienced by about 150 decades to complement correctly. ?Y?‰
